Founded in 1997 by Nancy Lublin, Dress for Success is an international non-profit organization dedicated to helping disadvantaged women find jobs and remain employed by providing professional attire and career development services. Clients, who must have an interview scheduled first, receive a suit appropriate for their potential job on their initial visit. After they're hired, Dress for Success supplies them with additional clothing that can be mixed and matched to make several outfits. The organization's clients are referred by various non-profit and government agencies, including immigration services, homeless shelters, job training programs, domestic violence shelters, educational institutions, and more.
Dress for Success also offers employment retention programs to assist women in gaining economic independence and become self-sufficient. The non-profit runs the Professional Women's Group program, a support system for women joining the workforce and building their careers, and Career Center, which provides career guidance and technology skills.
Since its inception, Dress for Success has served over 700,000 women around the world.
